College is opening tommorow and I am thinking what i have done in past 1 and half months of vacations. The only thing i can remember is bluz,my open source project. Where is that p2p thing i decided earlier? All the research papers about skype,overlay networks ,guntella etc are lying there on disk as it is.i have read them only once.I have read not understood.. The positive side of vacations is: 1)I learned a lot about WPF,Blend etc. 2) I am participating in win7 contest based on above experience. ......

If you ever tried to make irregular windows in wpf and used setting windowstyle=none,You might have used some code like this to enable minimising,maximising properties for the window: private void Minimize_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { this.WindowState = WindowState.Minimized; } private void Maximize_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { this.WindowState = WindowState.Maximized; } But on maximizing ,the window hides the taskbar.i.e it goes fullscreen. To avoid that issue,You can use ......

I have moved the tagging features for my media player application from MediaInfo to taglib-sharp. because taglib-sharp provides writing of tags back to audio files too.. As a matter of fact, Everything else was fine but,it took me whole half day to figure out how to display an image (album art) from taglib-sharp. I thought to finally post this workaround. TagLib.File file = TagLib.File.Create((FilePath); //FilePath is the audio file location TagLib.IPicture pic=file.Tag.Pictures[0]; //pic contains ......

I'll study/research on "p2p architectures and there use in enterprises"...Lets see how it goes,i have semester exams next week and i have downloaded a lot of books/technical papers to get started. .. p2p will help me distinguish my music player from others in the market... I'll also look at using the p2p library "Brunet" which is not much publicized as gnutella ......

Hey all, I can't imagine how easy it can be to develop and maintain a plugin architecture with System.AddIn and this tool VSPipelineBuilder.. This is a visual studio addIn is an open source project by the ClrAddIn team and is really awesome. U just define an interface/Contract and rest of the things, just a single click through that addIn. AddIn will implement that Interface and thats it,u can use it..Cheers ......... I used it for first defining a single interface .and implemented a small AddIn. ......

After going through the web ,I haven't got anything that i can use directly to enable drag drop between two listview controls or within same for multiple items. The best thing available in my opinion is this one by Josh smith: http://www.codeproject.com/... But it is for single SelectionMode only Another one for multiselct is this: http://www.codeproject.com/... But the second one has many limitations.. So i have done some work to extend ......

I was trying to implement an Interface by a class but i wanted to have static methods. But C# doesn't allow static methods in interface. After a little search,I got "why We can't have static methods in Interfaces". suppose i have an interface, interface IDemo { static void add(); } Now we implement it: class MyClass:IDemo { static void add() { Console.WriteLine("Added"); } } Pretty cool na. But it won't compile. because what if IDemo.add(); To avoid this ambiguity, Static Methods are not allowed ......
